It has the following features:- A surprisingly large rechargeable cell. USB powered charger that puts out a voltage limited charging current (200mA) of near dead-on 4.2V. It drives the LEDs at 20mA, which is within their rating. The button is firm, but easy to operate. The positioning hinge is not floppy. It has a generously sized headband and comfortable pad. It clips firmly onto a baseball cap or the rim of a beanie. Its standby current is very low at just 27uA. And now the downside. It has an "induction" function which has absolutely nothing to do with induction, but in Chinese-speak means proximity sensor. This involves a modulated IR LED and a receiver to detect objects in front of the light. This is used to turn it on and off by simply waving your hand in front of it. The downside is that it will also turn on and off when reflective objects are held in front of it, or you look at anything with a retroreflective surface like a co-worker wearing high visibility (hi-vis) clothing. The good news is that this feature is easy to remove permanently by simply cutting out the IR LED or putting a cover over the IR receiver.
